I try to think about what my character would do, given her situation and experiences. She is the one walking into the Quicksand, not me. Â She is the one looking for her sisters. Â I have NO problem finding mine, as there are four of them (seven brothers too!!) Â I'd rather get away from them. Â But Mia is looking for her sisters and is concerned they are being held as dancers, in a concubine, or possibly worse. Â She has no real clues to go on so her only alternative is to go where people meet and see if she can stumble onto somebody who might know something.
So that's what she does, she goes up to wallflowers in particular, and asks them questions about stuff. Â Grooming them for more and more information. Â Sometimes she gets an f-off, sometimes she gets a solicitation for ERP, and sometimes someone just doesn't want to play along with that. Â And that's fine. Â Mia can talk about other things. The kidnapping thing is just a hook to get started.
If you were looking for someone, how worried would you be about being or not being a wallflower. Â I guess it's a kind of method acting? Â I'm not very social otherwise, but if I'm in a role, I can act like I am.
